CVE-2026-75157Apache Airflow: Asset queued-events DELETE endpoints gated on Dag READ instead of Dag EDIT (asset-triggered scheduling suppression)
High 7.5
In plain English
A high-severity incorrect authorization in Apache Airflow from Apache Software Foundation. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 38% of all known vulnerabilities). Ready-made attack tooling exists: public proof-of-concept code.
Official description
Apache Airflow's asset queued-events DELETE endpoints checked the caller's Dag-axis permission with `READ` instead of `EDIT`. Any authenticated user who could read a Dag could therefore delete that Dag's queued asset events, silently suppressing asset-triggered scheduling for it — a state-changing action gated on a read-only permission. Deployments are affected whenever asset-triggered scheduling is in use and Dag read access is granted more widely than Dag edit access, which is the normal RBAC arrangement; no special configuration is required. Upgrade to apache-airflow 3.3.2 or later.
